Millions of toxic beads have escaped into the sea from Eastbourne sewage works. Southern Water have confirmed that some of the money to pay for the clean up will come from customers bills.
Are water companies ever going to be held responsible for their actions?

Huge congratulations to Josh Babarinde on being elected President of the Liberal Democrats.
As an MP, he’s already secured vital protections for domestic abuse victims and been a tireless champion for his community. He’ll be a real asset as we fight for a decent, caring Britain.

‘EIA Legal and Policy Specialist Amy Youngman said: “Plastic pellets are essentially an oil spill in solid form, but with added chemical toxicity. There are also prevention measures that can completely mitigate these losses, yet they remain almost entirely unregulated in the UK.”’
A major #pollution incident has occurred along the UK’s East Sussex coast, where millions of #plastic biobeads have washed up on the shoreline at Camber Sands and neighbouring beaches following a failure at Southern Water’s Eastbourne wastewater treatment works.

The best option might be to stay indoors and stop annoying your neighbours and wildlife, but for those who insist:
Planning a #bonfire this weekend? Remember to check for #hedgehogs. Heaps of wood and dry leaves are ideal hibernation sites. Do move any timber to open ground before lighting it, or build your bonfire at the last minute so hedgehogs haven’t time to move in. Have a fun evening!
